Hi Steven, the sources for javaconfig are published to our internal SpringSource maven repository. Once JavaConfig is officially released, the sources will probably be uploaded to Maven Central as well (which is what I assume you're wanting).

In the meantime, simply grab the latest snapshot from our own repository. You'll get sources and all. You can follow the example from JavaConfig's PetClinic sample's POM:

If you could publish the JavaDocs as well, it'd greatly help. I have downloaded the source, but it's so much more efficient to use the IDE-integrated version. I'm recommending it not just for my sake, but for others who are starting out with JavaConfig projects.

The easier it is to get to the documentation, the more likely we are to get our projects out successfully, driving Spring adoption, and reducing forum posts.

If this is an issue of your time, I can certainly help out myself. How would one get the ability to commit changes to the POM? I'd be happy to donate my time to help the project as we may end up heavily depending on the code for my team's next project.

I've brought up a thread internally about getting our build system enhanced to upload javadoc jars to our repository.

In the meantime, if you have the sources, you should have everything you need as far as javadoc - assuming you're using Eclipse, when you use autocompletion or the Javadoc view, you should see the javadoc render from the sources. Hopefully that's enough in the meantime.

Thanks for your offer to contribute - in fact, JavaConfig is not built from a POM - since m4 development began, JavaConfig now uses ant to build, even though the artifacts are uploaded in maven-compatible fashion. I'll post info to this thread when I get feedback on javadoc jars being uploaded.
